Link to the project website for updates:  https://sr-74-i-85-interchange-improvements-0007841-gdot.hub.arcgis.com/

Heads up, Fairburn drivers! Major traffic shifts are coming as work continues on the SR 74/Senoia Road Interchange Improvements Project.

  • Starting Tuesday, Feb. 4 at 7 PM, southbound lanes on SR 74 will shift left between City Lake Road & Meadow Glen Parkway to allow crews to begin removing sections of the bridge over I-85. Follow new lane striping and signage to navigate safely!
  • Mid-February (tentative), all I-85 southbound lanes under the SR 74 overpass will shift 12 feet to the right during overnight hours to minimize traffic impact. Stay tuned for exact dates!
  • Tree and vegetation clearing begins in March after the hibernation period for the Tri-Colored Bat, a protected species in the area.

Drive carefully, follow posted signs, and stay alert for construction crews! Thank you for your patience as we work to improve traffic flow and safety in Fairburn!

   

Where Your Money Goes: Sidewalk & Pedestrian Improvements 

Exciting Infrastructure Updates in Fairburn!

We’re making Fairburn more walkable and accessible with sidewalk and pedestrian improvements happening across the city! Construction is currently underway on Barton Street, which intersects NW Broad and Fairview Drive, improving pedestrian safety and connectivity in this area.

Other pedestrian improvement projects that are complete or nearing completion:
Shaw Drive – Connecting Roosevelt Highway to Global Impact Academy STEM School
Washington Street – Enhancing walkways from Smith Street/Valley View Drive to West Campbellton Street
Grant Street – Safer pathways from west of Milo Fisher Street to Bay Street
Fairview Drive – Sidewalk improvements from Elder Street to Shaw Drive

Upcoming Work:
The Base Bid Project will soon begin on the west side of West Campbellton Street, extending from Winding Brook Way to Pinehurst Drive to further enhance walkability.

Your tax dollars at work! These improvements prioritize safety, accessibility, and community connectivity—because a better Fairburn starts with better infrastructure.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue investing in the future of our city!

 

  

The new Automated Photo Speed Enforcement Program is now LIVE as part of our 2024 School Zone Safety Plan!

 
Fairburn Police have strategically placed two speed enforcement cameras in the following areas:
  • Near Landmark Christian School
  • Near Campbell Elementary School
After a 30-day warning period, the cameras are fully operational to help keep our children safe.  Citations will be issued to violators, including a $100 fine for speeds exceeding the limit by 10 mph or more. Repeat violations will incur a $150 penalty, underscoring the importance of safe driving near our schools.
